If the entire mountain is your domain, the Empire awaits you. Loved and revered for its asymmetrical flex construction, this all terrain boot provides a truly unique riding experience.

Whether you’re dropping into a banked slalom, dodging rocks in a chute, or ripping through the trees on a pow day, the Empire excels at making turns that are as quick as they are smooth. And thanks to this exceptional performance, the Empire is also the boot of choice for Japanese pipe prodigy Yuto Totsuka, who has landed atop the podium at the X-Games, World Championships, and many other contests across the globe. For a truly custom fit that delivers maximum comfort, the Empire showcases DEELUXE’s Stage 4 liner. A Freeride Tongue enhances durability and enables riders to further customize the boot’s flex. It also features the L3 lacing system for an even greater fit and enhanced response. And as a testament to the boot’s legendary performance, Japan’s Freerun magazine recently honored the Empire with a Best Gear Award, naming it the top freeride boot. Rule everything with the Empire.
